This market is so volatile right now.......again have a list of stocks you want long term. You are 99% never gonna catch the bottom. If the price is a value take a bite and buckle in for the long term. 

Mega Tech is on a fire sale (NVDA, SHOP, AMD, ADSK) There is so much long term value in those names right now.....but they can and probably will whipsaw back and forth here for several weeks, months. So trying to time the bottom is a fools game. I have been buying dips.....but they get pushed lower. At some point we will stop and just be long. 

Monday was an extraordinary day with that 1000 point swing on the Dow and now we are seeing that everyday this week pretty much.

Once the market fully digests the “recalibration” of monetary policy I expect this market later in the year to be a coiled spring and finish 6-8% higher than where we started. Maybe higher if the sell off goes deeper.  I am seeing so much nervousness just by all the price action on growth names. And these are names that are built for high growth and free cash flow. 

One area of the market that has been very resilient is the industrials, utilities and staples. It is very hard to find much value there right now. That is the leg down I am still waiting for to finish deploying the remaining cash I have. The proverbial “throwing in the towel” moment. 

This market will be sideways for a while here till late 3rd quarter in my estimation. We may see a great rally followed by another sell off rinse and repeat until things are fully settled in with the Fed’s hikes etc. 

The fundamentals though are strong and that is the key to all this. We are not having a double digit return on the index's this year (most likely) but positive returns are in view in my opinion simply based on the nature of why we have corrected thus far. Black Swains aside (Covid and War).

Quite easy to see the theme.....it has been the massively beaten down Mega Tech Sector sprinkled with JPM (Financial) NFLX and DIS (Consumer Discretionary) and today INTC (Tech Value) and some mad money in the RNA space and been buying ADX for my sons account on the dips. Also picked up a small fry of MCD for the long term. 

Comcast also look very attractive this morning. They bumped that dividend up nicely and they have a nice diversified portfolio of content and theme parks (Universal). I would be a buyer here today even though the sell off this mooring is done. This is a solid company with a growing dividend.

Thanks @Todem  - going to be buying for a family member and myself next week so I’ll be using your list. 
Added rblx. For some reason it was not on there. 

Love them long term in the metaverse space. They are going to print money.

Sold a bunch of losers this morning and bought 100 shares of VRTX.  For context, they are making some noise currently for a breakthrough treatment of Type 1 Diabetes and as a dad of a child with T1D, this looks really promising.  Long way to go, of course, but man, a world with a cure for T1D is one I want to cheer for.  

https://www.healthline.com/diabetesmine/vertex-type-1-diabetes-research


Vertex Pharma beats by $0.08, beats on revs; guides FY22 revs above consensus -  upside guidance for FY22, sees FY22 product revs of $8.4-$8.6 bln vs. $8.24 bln S&P Capital IQ Consensus. Sees combined Non-GAAP R&D and SG&A expenses of $2.70-$2.75 bln. :coffee:

 

And for those with T1D or with a child with T1D.....

 

Diabetes update with more pts and longer duration expected 2022; single patient 150 day data impressive, in our view.

VRTX exploring multiple method to protect the cells – 1) standard off the shelf immunosuppression; 2) Immunoprotective device (IS not needed), which allows vascularization and oxygen exchange and allows insulin to go back and forth while keeping immune system out. In IND-enabling studies, IND to be filed later this year; 3) gene editing tech to make hypo-immune pancreatic cells.

VRTX noted being the only company to have shown allogeneic, fully differentiated, insulin producing islets cells.Unlike other companies developing similar cell based therapies, their cells are fully differentiated and are expected to work more rapidly.

While data is only from a single patient, we note that the data reported from 150 days post treatment with VX-880 in a patient with long-standing diabetes (multiple decades) with no endogenous insulin, HbA1c of 8.6% was impressive. The company reported 92% reduction in daily insulin use and HbA1c decline to 6.7%. See our note HERE.

Drug was generally well tolerated, additional patients being enrolled with data update in 2022 (more pts, longer-follow up).

ViaCyte (Private)/Crispr (CRSP, Buy, Lee) – expected to have data from their cell therapy product for T1D later this year. While VRTX mgmt did not comment on whether there could be any read from these data to their program, we are of the view that if that data is positive, it has a direct read to VRTX’s long-term strategy of developing both device+cells and edited cells, in our view.

 
Put the rest of my cash into SOXL at 36.15. 
 

my next stupid play will be NRGD with some February  cash after the Ukraine situation has a bit more clarity.

Added more SOXL around that price too.  Have a pretty decent size position now.  

 
This is a stock pickers market and the names I bolded are way overdone. I will leave it at that. 

I am waiting for other names to join that overdone territory.....but it has not really happened yet. 

DIS is in that over done category....so there is also that one. 

But yeah this market is so nervous and acting so bearish.......just waiting for that other shoe to fall here to deploy the rest and be done with it and we can ride this baby into year end on a nice high note.

Did you cash your NRGU yet?
Yes, sold most of it.  Using those funds to feed SOXL and TQQQ, loaded back up in BNKU too.  Took some cash out too for house projects.  I did save (free rolling) 10 shares of NRGU in my Roth and another 10 in my brokerage account.

I think you mentioned them last week or before because I had them written down and underlined. Lol. Definitely in on that.

Happy for you GB. I hope you made a fortune! :)

You may have explained this before, but what’s the justification for DIS at its high PE and historically not having high growth numbers to justify it?

I am speculating on their complete pivot into streaming and a massive comeback with theme park revenue moving forward from the pandemic. It looks expensive at it’s current numbers.....but the forward multiple looks a lot better based on guidance. If that guidance does not come through.....well then we will be wrong...and the market will decide as it always does. 

When it comes to the streaming landscape I have em ranked:

1. Netflix

2. Disney Plus

3. Amazon

Those three have the biggest runway towards streaming growth.....again in my opinion.  Disney also has other streams of revenue as well as Amazon. The only pure play is NFLX but Disney Plus’s growth prospects are very 2nd 3rd inning like Netflix IMO.

Curious what you consider long term?

5 years, 7 years, 10 plus years, etc.?
Minimum 5 years and how long after that all depends on the business and do they have the moat to sustain and have a sustainable business model, earnings etc.

I have owned many stocks 30 plus years now in my portfolio. Those are stalwarts. Will RBLX become a stalwart? I don’t know. But over the next 3-5 years I think they will be s massive player in the overall metaverse arena for lack of a better term.

Your son and everyone else that suffers from that horrible infliction. 


Yup, for sure.  But to be fair there are far worse diseases that people battle every day than T1D. We are blessed to have a pump that regulates Coop's care about as well as you could imagine.  Long gone are the days of 10 finger pricks, blood readings, carb counting every meal and finding the right dose of insulin to inject 4-5 times a day.  And for that I am very very grateful.  

Still, a cure on the horizon would be wonderful.  

 
I don't understand the lack of AMX interest.  They are up 5% for the year, have cornered the credit card market in china, and are the favorites among kids.

I've owned 100 shares for 15 months and it's been a nice steady ride.

Older than you by a smidge.  Got to witness this transition first hand.  Local public schools wouldn't do the ##### so the parents had to come to school.  That said, as "good" as it is now, this just needs a flat out cure.

 
Don't be greedy!!
I wouldn’t call it greedy. Being a new investor I’ve made some mistakes and actually sold shares of SE real early on because it was falling, only to watch it climb. Granted this has been a drastic fall, but just like BABA I can’t see the company folding. It could be down for a few years I guess. I’ve heard stories here of people who bought AMZN early on and it went through some hard times but the people who held are doing okay. I’m also pretty sure for every AMZN story there are 100 companies that went the opposite way, but this isn’t like a huge % of our money. Granted I still don’t want to lose it but I’m going to ride it out I think. 
 The majority of our individual stocks are in the growth sector so needless to say I’ve told the. Wife not to look at the accounts, but for some reason I’m not really sweating it. Maybe that’s wrong but I’m looking at an 8 year window and once the little bit of our remaining cash is deployed we will be all mutual funds going forward.

hopefully in 8 years not all my individual stocks are bombs and I nab some winners so the wife can look at the account 🙂

If people here so strongly believed in SE a year ago, what changed other than the share price? My belief is if you want to be a solid investor not prone to swings, look only at what’s changed fundamentally with the company, not the price of the stock.

Nothing. I still love it. I’m glad I traded around the core position and do things like sell covered calls. These drawdowns still suck but it helps that I could add cash here and there without selling the core position.

Brian Feroldi has a good illustration ofThe Capella Method

 
SOFI and MTTR on new lows.  In for some more there.  
Lol. I remember feeling bad about selling SOFI around $15ish for loss harvesting because it popped after that. It worked out and I think I could make up for the entire loss now. MTTR is way down, like 80% off the high. I like it, but there just doesn’t seem to be a near term positive catalyst except for individual stocks. MITK and AX are two of my positive stocks because they had solid earnings. I think that’s they only way for individual stocks to stop the bleeding.

Work has sucked this year and isn’t getting easier so I need to think about when I want to deploy more cash because the couple little buys this year are down a little.

To be fair sentiment has changed a bit right before this market drop which is why it's getting so extra pummeled whereas it was one of the ones that held up well/bounced back quickly in previous nasdaq selloffs.  Alibaba is starting to make a play in their markets and while people were okay with the excessive spending to grow a year+ ago it seems like some investors were expecting that to start to curtail a bit by now.

I am still bullish and haven't sold any but sentiment around the core business has changed some when noting the general tone of articles and whatnot about the company floating around.

 
Those AAPL options worked out.  My original order was 30 contracts at $2.64 each at 160. 

Then I remembered I don’t have that kind of money.  :(
